I noticed that when I logged into my AMEX account, there was an offer for $50 credit back with a $100 purchase at Fleming's Steakhouse. $100 must be spent in the restaurant and not online. Expires at the end of May. Some have reported this can also be loaded via AMEX's Facebook Sync app.

Also note, Fleming's is doing a "buy $100gc, get $20 promo card" thing right now, so you could effectively get $120 worth of credit for $50.

Good news, thx OP and also yuyak for the gc info. Added the offer to my Costco AMEX in the iOS app. Can only add one card though. The terms don't seem to exclude gift cards or alcohol. Hot deal, green for you guys!

Do the terms allow for rinse and repeat next month before the expiration date? Now that my card is registered the offer is no longer showing up in the app and I can't find the terms anymore.

Unbeatable happy hour if you can find a seat in the bar area. Thanks OP.

Better yet if you’re lucky and Flemings has a restaurant in your area you should be able to buy $100 gift card in Fleming's restaurant only (not online – will not work)and use at any Bloomin' restaurant (Outback Steakhouse, Flemings, Bonefish Grill, Carrabba, Roys) not just Fleming’s http://www.bloominbrands.com/giftcards/ plus receive a $20 bonus card. Gift cards are good for any Bloomin’ brand restaurant but must be purchased in Fleming's restaurant only (not online for AMEX sync to work.) Bonus card cannot be used on day of purchase.

Does anyone know for sure if the $100 GC can be used at Bloomin Brands restaurants or just the $20 bonus card? On the flemings website (just for reference, I know you have to buy it in store) it looks like you get a $100 flemings card and a $20 Bloomin Brands card.

awesome find, thanks optrying to load it using the AMEX app, however, anyone know how to pick which card it is associated with? (i noticed at the AMEX website, different offers were available on different cards and i only use one card.)

**update - at the app i selected the promo and then it asks which card to associate the promo with (of course the card i want it on is not an option

Do any one know when the $20 promo ends, because that is a cool deal. Since I can go and get the gift card and have a balance of $120 for $50 spent after all is done. I think the answer to that is in wtjc's post: " Gift Cards must be purchased between 4/1/13 and 6/16/13. Bonus Cards are valid from 5/13/13 to 7/15/13."

Just wondered if anyone has actually done this in the past. I'll give it a shot and find out. looks like it should work according to the gift card website.

sorry a bit lost here. please see if my logic is correct.

1. claim offer from AMEX, which I did.2. go to flemmings and buy a $100 GC before AMEX offer ends which is 5.243. now you have $100 flemmings GC which should be able to spend anytime4. now you have $20 bonus card which can be spend at other restaurants but need to use before 6.165. AMEX credit $50 on your account

please confirm if my logic is right. thanks.

That is my understanding.So, you have $120 to spend, when you have paid $50 after the $50 credit.

I don't think you can do that, since it states on the terms "Limit 1 statement credit per American Express Card across all American Express offer channels."I think they learned from the twitter offer of $25 gift cards. I was able to double deep with my card and my wife's becuase they both had differetn number, but they come in the same statement.

Channels is one offer accross FB, Twitter, account offer. No harm no foul in trying.

I really dislike Flemings. I have had terrible experiences there almost every time that I have dined there. It is also overpriced for the quality. The worst experience included receiving a totally burned piece of meat that was supposed to be braised short ribs. They were so burned that the black carbon could be flaked off the entire surface. The waitress and then the manager told me that is how they are supposed to be. lol.

I will be doing this offer, but I will be using the cards at either Outback or Bonefish, which at least have reasonable prices. I can get close to two meals with the family at either for around the $120 of the offer.

Same question, how do you do that?

Now through May 31, make a reservation online to dine at the new Beverly Hills location and receive a $50 dining credit.

I don't think you can do that, since it states on the terms "Limit 1 statement credit per American Express Card across all American Express offer channels."I think they learned from the twitter offer of $25 gift cards.

Thanks for the link, I just enroled. So, it is a wait and see if it goes through.

This was my second time there and while it was not as bad as your experience the whole thing was meh.

For those interested they are currently running the following offer as well (in Miami at least) until April 21st. Mind you I went for this offer a few yrs ago when it was a 3 course offering appetizer, main & dessert and it was terrible as well. The lobster bisque was ice cold, the filet was way overdone, and the hot apple tart was also ice cold. But here is the offer regardless. Good luck:

So, I will go into another Fleming's some time this week, and get the $120 gift cards, which I will be using at the time when my $20 gift card is valid, some time next month and get the $50 credit from Beverly Hills location when I go there. That would give me, provable a balance to go again some other time to another closer to my house.

I got mine today as well. It seems to be very similar to the promotional dining credits you can get by making various reservations online. And it seems that you cannot use this in conjunction with those other promos, and also doesn't seem like you can stack these. UGhhh... I wish these were normal gift cards

I usually use a promo cards toward the bar tab while i wait for my table. then I can use a second one to pay the meal bill. You just have to make sure to settle your bar tab before going to the table, otherwise they will just transfer the bill and you can only use one promo card instead of two

Will they let us use the promo card in the bar area as the terms say it must be used in the main dining area?

$25 bonus card from AMEX Blue Dining for spending $100+ at Fleming'sT&C's on the card:* Expires 6/30/2013* May be redeemed for any dining purchase, including alcohol where permitted by state law* Valid only in the main dining room* May not be used with other promotional offers* One dining card per check* Cannot be used for tax or gratuity, or gift card purchases.

Just got my $25 (flimsy) bonus card today. Mine doesn't specifically state any expiration on the card. Didn't mention "main dining room" nor "other promo offers". On the accompanying literature, there's a mention of 6/30/13, but i'm assuming it's the end date of the promotion to be eligible for the $25 bonus card.
